A Method for Calculating the Area of Zostera marina Leaves from Digital Images with Noise Induced by Humidity Content

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2014
Despite the ecological importance of eelgrass, nowadays anthropogenic influences have produced deleterious effects in many meadows worldwide. Transplantation plots are commonly used as a feasible remediation scheme.

Microbial communities on eelgrass (Zostera marina) thriving in Tokyo Bay and the possible source of leaf-attached microbes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is classified as one of the marine angiosperms and is widely distributed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. The present study investigated the microbial community structure and diversity of Z.

Global meta‐analysis highlights recovery of animal functional diversity in restored coastal ecosystems

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal ecosystems have experienced widespread global degradation, prompting substantial investment in restoration. While structural recovery is well documented, whether restoration reestablishes the functional diversity (FD) of animal communities and how recovery unfolds through time remains poorly resolved. Objectives This study

Eelgrass and its inhabitants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
You have probably seen eelgrass before and thought `Wow that's a lot of annoying seaweed that tangles and tickles my legs while I try to go for a swim´ .

River Eelgrass Detection using Very High-Resolution Satellite Imagery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
River eelgrass has a vital role in the coastal ecosystem, which can be threatened by human activities and climate change. Accurate mapping of eelgrass habitats is important for sustainable eelgrass conservation and management.

Mapping with confidence; delineating seagrass habitats using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS)

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
There is growing interest in the use of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) for mapping and monitoring of seagrass habitats. UAS provide flexibility with timing of imagery capture, are relatively inexpensive, and obtain very high spatial resolution imagery ...

A blessing or a curse: Responses of eelgrass (Zostera marina) seedlings to combined stressors of nutrients, hypoxia and sulfide

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Eelgass (Zostera marina) beds have many functions; however, eelgrass populations have declined in recent decades. Thus, it is important to recover eelgrass populations.

Variation in Meiofaunal Abundance and Composition Across an Estuarine Bay: Do They Comprise a Coherent and Distinct Entity Displaying Contrasting Patterns to the Macrofauna?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Is division of marine animals into macrofauna and meiofauna merely an arbitrary convenience, or, as has been claimed, does their size difference render them distinct and independent entities evolved under different ecological constraints? Those in the Knysna estuarine bay did not behave as distinct and discrete ecological entities, their individual ...

Inundation and Sediment Supply Predict Annual but Not Centennial Carbon Accumulation in Tidal Wetlands Across Land‐Use Types

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Despite growing interest in the contributions of tidal wetlands to natural climate solutions, data remain scarce on how land use affects their carbon accumulation rates (CAR). Additionally, environmental factors driving the large observed variability in CAR among sites are poorly understood.
